On June 22, 1948, Amanda married Irvin Wall. They farmed in the Lustre community and raised three boys, Larry, Lyle and Harvey. Amanda enjoyed gardening, record keeping, quilting, being involved in the church women's ministry, teaching Sunday School and being an AWANA leader. She was a good cook and enjoyed her children and grandchildren. She and Irvin made and sold Montana agate jewelry as well as Bosch mixers.

Amanda's loving husband passed away in 1995, and in 1998 she moved to Glasgow, where she lived in her own apartment, Nemont Manor, Prairie Ridge Village, and, finally, Valley View Home.
